SIT fair

With dozens and dozens of presentations at Sunday’s 22nd Science, Inventions and Technology Exhibition, there were only so many students’ stories I could get to in today’s story. But, thanks to the Internet, I can mention one more:
Mickey Pardo is a 16-year-old who is home-schooled and lives in Wesley Hills. Finding an unmined research subject, Pardo spend two years compiling data on the Eastern Grey Squirrels’ tail communications. He concluded that the squirrel’s tail likely evolved for balancing on trees, but it’s been used to warn of danger and display dominance or submission.
“There’s not much point in doing research if you don’t present it to someone,” he said yesterday.
Here’s a complete list of the winners (Mickey’s one of them) at the fair.
